I think the second arc is hitting a lot of psychological aspects and going into a lot of depth in certain characters, such as Kirito and his sister. I am not merely talking about her love for Kirito, but her as an actual person. It also does a great job of making my week up until Saturday seem extraordinarily longer. All in all, I love this arc as well as the show itself, and can't wait to see the rest of it.

On a side note, I would like to learn more about their parents and how they came to be united as "brother and sister," as well as why Sugu never knew about Kirito not being her real brother up until 2 years before the episode 22.

love the pic, i thought the best aspect of it was the Loli part tho.... she's soooooo cutte lol.

but, on the other hand, i do agree that this arc, shows A GREAT DEAL of emotional activity, depth, and backround instead of action. but when the action does take place it is SOOO intense that, it keeps your mind wondering, where the H*** it came from lol..... i completely LOVE this series and continue to love it more and more the farther along we go :).
